FTP Connect problem

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I'm facing a strange problem regarding connecting to FTP. Correct function modules in connecting to FTP is used in the program and the program is executed in background job. The program is designed to try to connect to FTP for 7 times only then if no connection is established, through sy-subrc it raises an error message.

However the processing stuck in the FM FTP_CONNECT so the following program codes were not executed. Do you have any idea what went wrong in the FTP as to why it didn't get out of the function module FTP_CONNECT?

Thanks for your inputs!

it was due of the connection issue.

I suggest you start the ftp on the system where the batch job is ran manually and see if it's able to connect.

Hi Markus,

The program is used for other jobs as well but it was able to connect. Thanks for your response.

Well - since the program calls an external program and does not come back it's impossible to get an idea... maybe there was a temporary network problem or the target server denied connection, name resolution problem - impossible to guess from remote.
